O =QUINCY- m 

QuiNCY, Illinois, is very propei-lj known as the '-Gem Citj". It was settled in 
1825 by Governor John Wood, and today counts her population at . 4i»,U00. 
Naturally beautiful, it stands proudly on the top of a high bluff", and looks down one 
hundred and forty five ftet upon the "Father of Waters"', the grand old Mississippi, 
which shimmers by. Much of its beauty is d.ie to the artistic constructiveness of Mr! 
John Batchy, the architect, who has given us those beautiful residences in Park 
Place, besides the Gem City Business College and many other handsome public and 
private buildings. Baldwin Park has become a feature of Quincv, and is already 
well-known. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Home, built by the State of Illinois, at a cost 
of several million dollars, is a magnificent institution, and gives friendly shelter to 
over a thousand veterans. 

Quincy contains over four hundred industrial enterprises, the largest probably 
being the foundries, which have an annual output of over 120,000 stoves. Electricity 
is used quite prominently here: Street cars are run by it; the city is lighted by it; 
and many factories prefer it to steam. The railroad facilities are very good, being an 
important junction point for three lines of the great Burlington Route, which runs 
thirty-four passenger trains in and out of Quincy every twentv-four hours. One of 
its lines runs through East and West, and two North and South.
